# Whitman Recreation Commission - September 17, 2026 Meeting.

The Whitman Recreation Commission held a meeting on September 17, 2026, primarily discussing the summer pool and park programs, including attendance, staffing, and financials. The pool program generated approximately $1,600 from daily passes and $6,000 from swim lessons, but total pool-related costs including chemicals and opening/closing expenses were about $8,000, indicating the program did not break even. The park program brought in about $86,000 in revenue, with total combined revenue around $96,000 against $90,000 in expenses. The commission highlighted the need for a dedicated budget line item for pool expenses, especially electricity costs, which had previously been covered but were absent in recent fiscal years, leading to reliance on a low-balance revolving fund. Discussions also included potential repairs for the pool lift, coordination with other town departments, and upcoming community events like Halloween activities. No formal votes on procurement or contract awards were recorded, but there was mention of seeking creative budget solutions and possible use of Community Preservation Committee (CPC) funds for pool equipment repairs.
